Hello, TripMates 👌 Join me on a chilled adventure filled with a 05-days joy trip through one of the most beautiful parts of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam Town and the welcoming citizen of this nation. From beautiful beaches and overwhelmingly beautiful culture, the food experience will make you fall in love with Tanzania. As a local law student, I want to explore my home country's sights in a small group of a maximum of 3 tripmates. We'll travel in conducive rental vehicles and a luxury boat to Zanzibar. We'll combine beautiful accommodation self-contained apartments as our comfortable Air BnB. Zanzibar provides amazing value for historical culture, and sharing this trip will get you even more bang for your buck. In Zanzibar, we will be experiencing the local foods, the history associated with the place, beaches, swimming, and Stone Town. Zanzibar is rich in beautiful beaches, astonishing cultural history, spices, foods, and aquatic resources. Beyond these, many events can be a part of our trip. And if you wish to stay longer on beautiful Zanzibar and explore the island on your own after the trip then I am happy to assist you with finding the right and safe place to stay. 😊

About Your Future TripLeader: I am Kelvin Kennedy a man full of excitement when it comes to social groups and new environments. I love getting together which is always generated by love, compassion, and friendship. I believe once we connect here, the room for us to have more opportunities to meet again stands within our first interaction. So I am more interested in getting to know you as how you are interested in getting to know me 🤗. I will be hand in hand with you the whole trip days. On this trip, I expect us as one team to really have fun, connect, laugh, eat, drink, etc. However, the major key here is the following: - Get ready to experience the beautiful state of Tanzania and its locality - Making and taking breakfast as one big family, which will allow a big room for connecting. - A surprise island from your one and only Trip leader. - The home of Zanzibar’s Giants Aldebaran Tortoise. - History of the Prison Island - Local food and culture experience in Tanzania

Details about the accommodation: We will stay at the apartments of only four people. Each room will take two people (a room with two beds and king bed). The apartment has free Wi-Fi, room service, TV, kitchen swimming pool, etc. Our very first day during the arrival will be spent in Dar es Salaam city accompanied by a beautiful visit to a party location in town. And our very first morning we as trip mates will prepare our first breakfast as a sign of making a great connection with each other.

5/5
I cannot express how amazing it was to be a part of Kelvin's trip. He made sure that I experience Tanzania & Zanzibar like a local. He was flexible and made sure I visited all the places I wanted to explore. He was also my dedicated camera person and made sure that all my moments were captured. It really felt like I was on a trip with a longtime friend. He was very respectful and made sure he kept in contact with me from the planning stages till the end. He was with me from airport pick up till drop off. The trip is the best trip I have gone on. I would definitely do another trip with Kelvin.

Zanzibar Island

Day 3-4
Day 03 Prison Island tortoise sanctuary The prison was to send violent criminals from the Tanganyika mainland to Prison Island. The prison island earned its name as a former prison for slaves and a quarantine station for Zanzibar and the mainland, nowadays the island gives you the chance to escape for some peace. The island lies just off Old Stone Town, it is also home to large giant tortoises that were imported from Seychelles in the late 19th century. Now it is more commonly known as the home of Zanzibar’s Giants Aldebaran Tortoise colony, some of which are over a hundred years old! I cannot wait to see all of this amazing experience with you. After the prison island visit, we shall return to Stone Town the oldest city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. The place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques, and granted Arabs houses whose original owners competed with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. Our day will then end at Stone Town and prepare ourselves back to Dar Es Salaam mainland using our evening boat to Dar Es Salaam. Boat tickets are going and return, if you wish to stay longer at Zanzibar return fee will be refunded. ACTIVITIES * Ferry fees, Prison Island fee, drivers fee to Stone town * Accommodations * Testing Zanzibar food and enjoying the culture * Night party at Polos Zanzibar.

Julius Nyerere International Airport

Day 5
Day 05 Departure Day:( This is the part we all wish it never come to soon but we have no other options than to say our goodbyes. The luckiest and happiest thing in the world is when me and you connect as friends, and who knows. We might be as close as family friend too. This departure can not define the bond we as tripmates have but the root to endure and use all sources of communication to keep in touch. I can't pour all my heart here but all my wish is to go with you everywhere. We shall have our last meal together, cheer up, say our goodbyes etc. Prepare each tripmate to travel back to Julius Nyerere Airport for flight departures and so on. And remember to text me back after you have arrived, I will really appreciate the call or text.
